Chapter Ten: Never Leave Home

"Were did Kagura and Kikyo go?" Sesshomaru asked as he entered the house. His father and Inuyasha were standing in the living room.

"They left after Kikyo came into the kitchen and saw me and Kagome kissing. She said something about how revolting it was." Inuyasha said with a smirk on his face. He was glad to be rid of Kikyo.

"I have to leave boys your mother is already in the carriage. I will see you at the gala in a few months"

"Why do you put up with her?" Sesshomaru asked as Rin let go of his hand to go and join Kagome in the kitchen.

"Because I have too." With that their father left. They wouldn't from him for months. The next few months were great. The Takahashi men actually knew how to act like husbands despite there initial reaction to the women.

The Takahashi estate the day before the gala was buzzing with servants preparing for the event. They were weskit away to their rooms to unpack.

"Welcome to the Takahashi estate my name is Izayoi and I'll be showing around while you're here." She bowed and then looked back up. Rin and Kagome couldn't but notice how much this woman looked like Sesshomaru and Inuyasha.

"Thank you so much." Rin said and bowed to show her gratitude.

"Yeah we thought we would spend a lot of time lost while we were here." Kagome added as she too took a bow. Just them Inuyasha and Sesshomaru walked in.

"Mom" Inuyasha said with the excitement of a child as he wrapped his arms around his mother.

"Mother" Sesshomaru said in his usual monotone voice as he bowed to his mother. She looked at him then threw her arms around his neck. Rin could have sworn she saw a small smile.

"Why do you stay here if father does not want you?" Sesshomaru asked his mother. Inuyasha gave his brother an annoying look.

"Yea you should come and stay with us." Inuyasha added feeling rather proud of him self.

"Boys we have been through this I like being near your father." She said with small tears wheeling in her eyes. Izayoi was a maid at the Takahashi estate before the Takahashi family purchased the estate. When their father saw her he begged his parents to let her stay. He soon fell in love with her. When he asked if he could marry her he was dinned the right to do so. His love for her was still great. They soon had two sons which he gave his name too. The woman who their father was forced to marry could have no children but he still had to stay with her. His wife hated Izayoi but their father would not send her away to appease his wife and Izayoi would never leave his side.

"Fine but we still think you should come with us." The two men said as they leave the room.

"So shall we get going?' she asked the two girls.

"Yes. I saw a garden out the window can we go there?" Rin asked rather shyly. She felt really bad for Izayoi how tragic it must be to be in love and not be loved back. They went out into the massive garden. Flowers as far as the eye could see. It was nothing like in the mountains were the snow had covered everything with a thick blanket of white.

"Father we wish to speak with you?" Sesshomaru addressed his father and motioned to the study.

"What's on your minds?" he sat down on his plush chair and leaned back.

"We want you to release mother so she can come back with us" Inuyasha asked with a stern tone to his voice.

"She will only come with us if you tell her its okay." Sesshomaru voiced from behind cold eyes.

"I think I visit with you boys would do her good." Their father agreed.

"Not for a visit but to live with us forever." Inuyasha said this time is voice was low and full of determination. He knew his father would never allow such a thing but they would even if they had to simply take their mother by force.

"I can't do that. I need your mother here with me."

"Why so she can serve you and your wife! She's coming with us even if we have to take her by force." Sesshomaru slammed his fist on the desk. He would not be dinned his mother. She was only a maid in his fathers' house and he would not stand by and see her treat like a maid anymore.

"Son you don't…" his fathers' words were cut off by a blood curdling scream coming from the garden. The three men ran out the house and into the garden. They were met by a trail of blood coming from the paths that lead into the maze. Izayoi was lying on the ground her clothing covered in blood. Her face was pale she was holding her side were she had been stabbed.

"She took them…" she said trailing off.

"Who did this to you?" Lord Takahashi asked as he held her in his arms.

"Lady Takahashi took them and stabbed me. You have to find them she said something about…"her eyes closed before she could say anything else. He picked up her limb body and took her into the house. She was still alive but had lost a lot of blood. She probably wouldn't survive the night.

"I have every available man looking for them we will find them." He said holding his wife's hand.

"We shall join them in their search." Sesshomaru said as he and Inuyasha kissed their mothers forehead and left the room.

Well hope you all liked it. Till next time ^_^
